JA Simpli doesn't work with Joomla 4

didier-l

Hello,
I'm getting ready for Joomla 4 and I've tried to migrate a website build with JA Simpli.

When I arrived at the Joomla Update Component I am presented with a Pre-Update Check which provides me with information about the readiness of your server, settings and installed extensions for the update. This tool declares JA Simpli compatible with Joomla 4 , I go on but, after migration, front end is not accessible !
I can access to back end and I replace this template by Cassopeia template : it's working !

This incompatibility is not a surprise but information given by Pre-Update Check is wrong : can you correct it ?
Thanks

Template work with Joomla 4.
Can you edit edit fields in first post and submit a temp super user login so i can check the problem on your site?

didier-l Hi

Your site seems to be in Joomla 3, not Joomla 4 yet and the login info doesn't work.

Could you tell me how you want to achieve in LESS? did you try with CSS too?

My current site is in Joomla 3 ; I have changed less files (changes about colours, polices, styles …) and I have compiled template.less to update css files, especialy template.css. It works ! That means all changes in less files are taken account , I have the new colours, new polices …

I am preparing migration to Joomla 4 on an local host . Migration was successful but, when I look at front end, I note I have a standard version of JA Simpli, without all changes I have made on less files.

I suppose I have to compile template-j4.less : how to compile this file .

there is no less compiler on Joomla 4 version
I try to compile this file on an old Joomla 3 version but it seems it does not work …
What do you suggest ?

Thanks
Best regards

HI Didier,

I don't see that compile less feature in Joomla 4, could you share some screenshots?

It's the problem : no less librairies and less compiler in Joomla4
see https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/35303

So, if I want to use JA Simpli with Joomla4 , I need to compile template-j4.less file : how to do ?

I try to complie on Joomla 3 but it does not work§

Hi Didier,

You can search for a tool to compile LESS as Joomla 4 already removed that feature.

I often use Prepros
